Richard Burton.

Yes, it's (s)Hite.

Me too. Big Korean community in New Malden (no, I have no idea why), which is out past Wimbledon. So there are some really good Korean restaurants there. My favourite is Sorabol, near the big roundabout, which has a real local, family feel. There's another one around the corner that has real...

This is a great thread ... shame I only just found it. I read IJ and loved it; started reading again over the Summer and it made a whole lot more sense second time around. There was a project called Infinite Summer, which was reading the book over this Summer. They've moved on to Dracula now ...

Anybody tried Propellerhead's new Record? Seems likea good way of expanding Reason and apparently allows a better sound. Any thoughts?

I stand corrected. My apologies to the Wire. :rolleyes: Also, since I'm clarifying, I didn't mean that everyone on the Guardian comment pages is an ignorant shit. There are some very perceptive posters there. But there are a lot of shits as well. Now I'll get my coat.

Yes, I should have been clearer: I meant highbrow publications/sites that loved the first album but ignored the second, the Wire being the prime example. I'm sure it was because of the Mercury nomination that it didn't even get mentioned. Also, just saw the other middlebrow thread ... where...

Good article by Mr Reynolds in the Guardian. (Don't be put off by the haters in the comments, Simon ... you'll find that the Guardian comment pages are full of ignorant shits.) I wonder if this perception as middlebrow (and thus, for some, as not worthy of interest or acclaim) is also what...

Was listening to R4 Today programme on Saturday and heard Simon Reynolds being interviewed about an exhibition of Rave-era flyers. They played Voodoo Ray and some other good stuff in the background, which must be a first for "Today". May also be the first time someone has said "historicize" on...

It's impossible not to get that impression if you read the Q&A in the Guardian. I confess I had never heard of the guy before, so I am unable to give a critique of his views on ecology, capitalism or anything. However, I think I am qualified to say that the guy is so far up himself that he can...

My mum liked Colossal Youth by Young Marble Giants. She even asked me to tape it for her (this was a long time ago).

Heard it now. In fact listening to it right now, as this thread sent me back to it. Took a while to grow on me but when it did it stayed.

Tremendous service here on Dissensus ... thanks henry s!

I missed thier end of year rewind issue. Is the list posted anywhere? Cheers.

I'd echo the praise for Tim Drum. For Sylvian's post-Japan work I'd recommend the beautiful single "Forbidden Colours" with Ryuichi Sakamoto (from the sountrack to Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence but available in several places), the album "Brilliant Trees", and the (relatively) recent "Snow Borne...

Yes, please! They put out so much stuff in so many different guises we need help to sort the wheat from the chaff. AMT have been amongst both the worst and the best concerts I have ever seen. reminds me that I haven't seen them for a while ... msut check out whether they're coming around to...

Also you have to think about where the place is and the crowds they need to attract. It's in Brick Lane where there are lots of groovy little coffee bars with free wi-fi and I guess they thought that if they can snag some of the types that wash around there, as well as those who will make the...

Guilty! You're entitled to your view, of course, but imho there's a difference between pastiche (or plagiarism) and making something new and interesting by mixing old elements/styles with something new and with an idiosyncratic sensibility. When I first heard the album I immediately thought...

I just got Person Pitch, based on recommendation and then listening to a bit of it on a listening post at the new Rough Trade shop by Brick Lane (woo hoo for that, btw, and good luck to them). I think it's a great record. I agree with noel emits who praised it for its singular aesthetic: it...

Sounds like a good project, Snaps. Thing is, though, don't you also want it to have some resonance with people that don't know what dubstep is? To do that, you'll also have to describe the music, and not rely on the fact that the reader knows what it sounds like. So, more of a challenge, but...
